Anaheim Police Recover $2M Sculptures Stolen From Warehouse

Two monumental sculptures by Sir Daniel Winn, valued at over $2 million, were stolen from a secure, nondescript facility in Anaheim Hills where they were being stored ahead of becoming Winn's new showroom. The sculptures, “Quantum Mechanics: Homme” valued at $1.8 million and weighing 4,000 pounds, and “Icarus Within” valued at $350,000 and weighing around 2,000 pounds, both stand over eight feet tall and require heavy machinery and a team of people for moving. Police believe the thieves had insider knowledge of the sculptures' presence and likely used forklifts and trucks to steal the pieces during the weekend between Saturday night and Monday morning. Community tips led to the recovery of the sculptures from a trailer in a residential driveway, but no arrests have been made yet, with the investigation ongoing. Winn, a newly appointed John Wayne Airport Art Commissioner, considers these works his legacy, with “Quantum Mechanics: Homme” representing universal truth and featured in the award-winning film “Creation.” Authorities have noted that other valuables at the warehouse were untouched, suggesting the theft was targeted and sophisticated.
